Yeah if they're just being whiny and "errmahgerd i dun wanna play with them" then I can't see the incentive to put my time in to sort them out. If there's a legitimate reason (you think teams are stacked, one team has a much higher average ping) then that's what could be put into consideration.Cruduxy wrote: Force players into random teams and have them pick their captain..

That's what I fear the most: the loss in popularity. But we'll never know if we don't try, and if we structure and plan it well beforehand then people can play the events in confidence that everything will be fair and functional. This sort of event is what I reckon may bring more people's attention from ZDaemon and Odamex to come and try Zandronum if they haven't already, and maybe even people from other games such as Quake.Catastrophe wrote: Sorry, won't work. Stuff like this has been attempted more times than I can remember. It just never works.
It goes like this first week everyone has the drive for it, but as the weeks go by people get irritated and don't wanna play anymore.
I see what you mean there, the same idea but not as organised as what we're thinking of. It seemed popular as an idea back then and this should be too, which will probably lead to many people at least trying this out.Tor-Bjorn wrote: Impact I found the link to the old thread. Looking back it wasn't as elaborate as I had recalled it to be. But the idea was cool.
Here's the link to the old thread.
in reply to the rest of your post, I agree with it completely. Having the skills split into other servers would definitely be an excellent idea. But like you said - we'll need the sign ups for that.
Thanks!
Thanks for supporting this, and that would be great Maybe we should get an IRC Channel set up sometime if we start thinking about this seriously? (When we've settled on a name, of course :v)RedShirt wrote: I definitely support this idea and would be more than willing to help out if you do get things up and running. As Tor said, we had a similar idea months ago, we could throw ideas back and forth if you like.
